A well-constructed and clear website increases traffic and helps visitors understand the business, product, text, and images. As a result, a better user experience allows the company to reach more clients. A lot of things need to be considered when creating a website’s look and feel. To help you not get overwhelmed, the web design development process can be divided into seven steps.
Step 1. Information gathering
The first step’s focus is gathering all the necessary information for the project. As a design team, you should ask relevant questions to investigate the business needs. We will carefully analyze your needs and requirements, define the website’s purpose, and determine the goals of the website. As your team, we will consider how business goals can be reached with a good website.
Next, research the target audience. What is the group of people that you would like to reach first? What are their age, interests, and habits? Answering these questions will help you determine the website’s best design style.
Designers need to get acquainted with the website content. What kind of information will the target audience look for on the website? Is it specific information regarding a product or service, online shopping, or maybe something else? The content and design are directly intertwined with each other.
2. Planning and strategy
Using the information gathered from step one, it is time to put it together and make a detailed website plan. This plan and strategy list all the main topic areas of the website. This plan will clarify what content will be on the website and help understand the navigational structure. Let us make the journey for your future customers as simple as possible.

3. Graphical design
As part of the design process, it is essential to mindfully and tastefully apply such visual elements as the logo and brand colors to strengthen the brand identity on the website. During the design phase, the team will create one or more prototypes for the website. A prototype is typically a uniform image representing the website’s final look.
This step requires a lot of communication with each other. We will inform you throughout the design and development stages to ensure that the final website matches your needs, style, and vision. Teamwork makes the dream work!
4. Development
First, the homepage will be developed, followed by a shell for the interior pages. The body serves as a template for the website’s content pages, as it contains the main menu for the website. After this shell has been created, the design team’s task is to populate internal pages with content.
We are huge on open communication throughout this process. Any ideas, visions, or changes will be made to your liking and done promptly at all times. Once the development is finished, everything will need to be tested.
5. Testing
The testing process will start when the content and visuals are in place. Every page must be tested to ensure all links work and the website is displayed correctly in different browsers. Our experts will thoroughly comb through it to ensure this transition goes smoothly.
6. Delivery and launch
Once we receive your final approval, it is time for the website to go live. Other final details on this step are ensuring SEO is optimized, like your website title, description, and keyword tags, which help the website achieve higher positions in search engines. We aim to ensure your website is visible to people and they can easily find it.
7. Maintenance
Once the website is live, some regular maintenance is usually required. We want to ensure your website is up to date, running smoothly, and performing optimally. Our goal is to ensure your site helps ensure site security, increase the number of new visitors, and boost returning traffic.
